Sheffield is in South Yorkshire, in the north of England. It is close to Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and the Peak District. It’s a family-friendly city with a prosperous economy and relatively low cost of living. Sheffield obtained world-wide recognition during the 19th century for its production of steel. This fuelled an almost tenfold increase in the population during the Industrial Revolution. The city has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wide economic base. Sheffield is England's fourth-largest city, with the wealth of facilities you would expect to find in a major city.

Arts & Culture
Sheffield prides itself on a rich cultural heritage and no stay in the city is complete without a visit to one of our many museums and art galleries. The Millennium Galleries with its central location is great place to start for a mix of blockbuster exhibitions plus traditional and contemporary examples of Sheffield's craftsmanship. Our industrial heritage is a unique one of innovation and entrepreneurship.
